1pm Prem - Man Utd crisis & City unbeaten but Outsiders | A-League Season Kick-Off | 16/10/26

The big story this week has been on a Manchester club, but Manchester City are pretty relieved about the fact that Manchester United are garbage and one of their own players thinks they're garbage as well because that's taken some of the shine off what's going on with those 114 charges and the appeal right on Manchester United.

I think by last count they've won two of their nine official fixtures so far this season.

Not good at all.

One of those in the Champions League, one in the Premier League, and they've got Leeds United midnight Monday our time, so overnight Sunday into Monday our time at Ellen Road.

Now, if you're not sure about...

What this means, it's one of the biggest rivalries in English football, these two clubs.

It goes back, I think, to the War of the Roses.

Yep,

the War of the

Roses.

Lancashire, Yorkshire, blowing it with each other and, you know, way back.

Not a lot of love there between Yorkshire and Lancashire.

And these two clubs are the embodiment of those two particular regions or have been for a very long time.

Leeds, back in the day, so successful, especially in the 70s.

We love them out here in Australia for the fact that they had so many Australians there and harboured so many of our great young talents back in the day.

Manchester United though, maestro, my goodness.

So, Lissandro Martinez, we played you the audio earlier in the week about him saying that the hierarchy at...

The club basically missed the boat when it came to the transfer window, didn't get through the cattle that they needed to in the recent transfer window.

I mean, they had a third choice, maybe fourth choice, regularly centre-back in heaven, young player, playing left-back the other night against Atletico Madrid.

They got beaten, comfortably beaten in the end, 2-0.

He's come out and apologised on social media.

Who could have seen that coming?

But here's the weird thing about this story is that a lot of Manchester United fans are actually agreeing with every word that he says.

Just the point of should he be the guy saying it because he's actually employed.

Now I've got to say, sit next to teammates who have been brought in the transfer window and they're thinking to themselves, what am I part of the problem? I wasn't good enough for you coming into the club.
